Prevent Internet traffic from being exceeded on Android devices

Prevent Internet traffic from being exceeded on Android devices

Android users are increasingly complaining about how the mobile operator delivered bills with huge numbers without even knowing how they managed to spend so much.

Then a problem arises because the subscriber does not want to pay that amount of money because he did not spend so many megabytes, at least he does not know that he did. That's right, he doesn't know that he did because he didn't consciously spend it, the Android device did it. Then the subscriber takes the fact that he exceeded Android to avoid paying extra megabytes.

Is Android to blame? In essence, it is not, the subscriber is guilty because he allowed Android to make an "overdraft". I put that word in quotes because the system itself does not know if it is an excess, it uses the Internet as much as it needs, that is. as much as the user allowed him, and in this case, he allowed him infinitely. So Android doesn't know how many megabytes you have with the operator and will use the internet while it has it.

Somewhere you can't overdo it, somewhere the speed decreases when you overdo it, etc., it depends on the package. Basically, if there is a possibility to exceed megabytes and to be charged extra, you need to LIMIT the internet flow on your device.

How?

There are a bunch of free apps that work on the same principle: they stop/shut down the internet when a certain amount of kilobytes/megabytes passes through your device. So you can determine the time for which megabytes are calculated and their amount. Then, the app tracks how many megabytes the phone has used and shuts down the internet if it exceeds the set digit.

Some applications:

Android 4.0+ has this option built-in, and it is included in the options in Mobile Networks and Data Usage. Here you can see on the graph how many megabytes you have spent and limit them by simply drawing a horizontal line.

Useful: see how you can save megabytes up to 5 times!
